Old race car look is a 48 Plymouth business coupe on a Dakota chassis. Used the Dakota floor pan & firewall. Moved the "cab" back 7" and cut 8" out of the wheel base between the cab and the fuel tank so the wheel bases matched. The Dakota was a standard cab long box, the coupe had 114" wheel base (if I remember correctly, old age sucks). Used the Dakota drive train as well, the motor & trans were moved back 7" as well. Shortened the drive shaft. The car has been on the road for 2 full summers and has logged about 8,000 miles. It is a work in progress, but will never be "pretty". Gene
